[QUOTE="scythelt, post: 160571, member: 27879"] I rebuilt my server over the weekend using WHS RC1. I was previously using XP. It's now up and running quite happily with TVE3 and MySQL 5 with a couple of other services as well. Very happy with the setup now - as mentioned earlier, WHS uses Windows Server 2003 (actually a variant of Small Business Server). The managed disk services and automated backup that WHS brings to the table is worth the price of admission alone IMO. Install and setup was relatively painless apart from a few issues I had with getting MySQL to install the service correctly. I'd *highly* recommend looking at WHS if anybody is building a server for MP. WHS's synergies with a media centre's as a hub for storing music/video/pictures and streaming live tv is so closely entwined, it wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft release a WHS add-in for MCE in the near future.
